We are IN receipt oi ne first number
of The A0rgaleton Advertiser, just issued
by the Morganton Land and Improve.
Ment. Company, with Mr.. Chas. F. Nc
Kesson as editor. The object ofthe pub
lication is well stated as follows:
"The Morgdnton Advertiser is issued by
the Morganton Land and Improvement
Company, for the sole and exclusive
purpose of making a revelation to the
world of the hidden and undeveloped re-
sources of Burke county in general and
of Morganton in particular. We have a
climate unsurpassed in the Western
Hemphere for healthfulneSs. The census
map of 1870 revealed the fact that we are
in range of temperature, where con-
sumption is not known. Consumption
is germ disease. The pure dry air of
Burke will destroy the germ. Men of
science are strong advocates of Burke
climate for consumptives. DR.. P. l..
Murphy, Superintendent of the Western
Asylum for the Insane, says that this is
singularly dry climate and has been
very beneficial to his patients especially
those affected with throat or lung
troubles. We beg our readers to dwell
on this idea and we refer them to DIR.
Murphy. Health is the first essential to
happiness Here we have there it
floats on all the breezes."
The company is composed of John II.
Pearson of Morganton, President, Judge
a. c. Avery First Vice President; Ed. w.
Lyon of Raleigh Second Vice President:
Isaac T Avery, Solicitor.

This company does not claim too much
for their splendid county or people; in
deed without aflectation they state plain
truth, in plain, straightforward man
ner. All the officers and members ofthe
company are gentlemen of the highest
character in all respects. But our point
is not to compliment our friends person
ally, but to specially call attention to and
commend the public spirit and generous
loyalty of til h"sa gentlemen to their coun-
ty. They contribute of their own means
and energies TO advertising and selling
properties, without cost to others, and
give the benefit of their influence to the
individual good of their people and the
general good of their county: 1t is their
public spirit, their united action, we
wish specially to commend. That a new
era dawns upon Burke we are confident;
and TO this association we are sure the
people of the county will owe a lasting
debt Of gratitude. Their field of work is
truly magnificent one, and we can only
add our best wishes will accompany
their every effort
Mr.. ckesson, the editor, is writer
of fine ability, devoted both to the object
and the character of his york, and will
make the Advertiser an interesting as
well as useful publication.
